We picked up several of these composite quarts but check out the tops have the NASCAR Logo and say, "Professional Use Only." Rare? Common? Value? Thanks, Scott B.

Interesting looks like no one has seen these? Should I contact someone with Nascar Organization? Scott B.

Am I missing something here Scott? I don't see the "Professional use" printed on the top anywhere in the pic you posted. The statement saying it is tested and certified by nascar isn't uncommon I don't believe.....Gary

Punched and poured many of these over the years. Was oil of choice for my Corvette at the time. Common stocking item at my dads Union 76 service station. j

Thanks I have done some checking, mainly thanks to Wayne Henderson, I found out these were promotional items offered at certain Union stations in the 1970s/80s. Not many around anymore. Thanks guys...Scott B.
